Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion (from 1 [10-oz.] onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 medium garlic cloves)
1 (28-oz.) can whole peeled plum tomatoes, tomatoes coarsely crushed by hand and juices reserved
2 (14.5-oz.) cans crushed tomatoes, undrained
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound uncooked ziti
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (from 1 rotisserie chicken)
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil, plus more for garnish
Cooking spray
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely shredded (about 2/3 cup), divided
8 ounces pre-shredded low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups), divided

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add plum tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper; bring to a boil over medium. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld and sauce thickens, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ziti, and boil until just al dente, according to package directions. Drain and return ziti to pot.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Add tomato mixture, shredded chicken, and basil to ziti; stir to coat thoroughly. Pour half of ziti mixture into a 13- x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with 1/3 cup of the Parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Top with remaining ziti mixture, and sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and 1 cup mozzarella.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cheese has melted, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let rest 10 minutes. Garnish with additional basil before serving.

To me this is the ultimate comfort food. The spiciness of the chicken is complemented by the smooth creaminess of the Alfredo sauce. Delicious with a nice glass of white wine.
